[COVER] Everything

I didn’t catch onto Michael Buble when he grew in popularity, so of course I had missed out on how good he could be. I think some people were comparing him to Frank Sinatra and other artists “of that genre”?

Regardless, hearing the song last summer at LOAH and having to play (turns out I didn’t need to play) it for the Victoria Day Celebration/Earthquake Relief fundraiser, I had grown a large interest in the song. The subtle guitar parts were interesting, and I remembered Buble saying in an interview somewhere (ET Canada?) that he wrote these songs FOR MEN (to sing to their girlfriend or wife). Not…that…there…is…any…relation…right…now.

And so I decided to have some fun. I have to admit that it took me whole day to finally get to a recording where I wasn’t 100% displeased, but even right now I am only probably around 85% pleased with how this turned out. Yes, I am critical of myself even though I don’t have the equipment to make higher quality recordings…haha.

Moja

Moja is a bass and drum, rock-ish and definitely dance-able Japanese band. They’re one of the acts at North By NorthEast I would check out, if I were to go. Of course, I’d have to check out each and every other performance during the fest so I could really determine if I wanted to go or not…and that seems like a lot of work.

Anyway, you can go visit Moja at their Mac site, or via their Myspace. They only have 3 songs up, and it doesn’t look like they have any CDs recorded yet.

And a major thought…if we (I) dive into the indie scene again, I’d have:

  1. A lot of bands to discover/re-discover
  2. A hard time supporting them all, the one’s that I’d like
  3. Maybe no life, trying to discover every frickin’ indie band on this frickin’ planet

So…I’m probably not going to dive into the so-called “indie scene” again 😛

Rice Boy completed

Evan Dahm’s Rice Boy web-comic has come to a conclusion (you can read the post here). It was a very good read, and I enjoyed the unique art-style he used.

And for those wondering what has happened to my current web-comic AddOne2Win, I haven’t been too inspired to draw anything, despite the large break…hahaha 😀 And for my upcoming project, I’ve decided not to try finding my sketchbook, but would instead draw on my scrap pieces of paper like the way I do for everything else. With that being said, I should have been able to draw a whole bunch of portraits already, but I have also been lazy and unproductive. WIN 😀
